I'm using Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals w/ the lab manual. One of the better books I've seen for a cert so far.

I recommend Darril Gibson's Security+ book:

Amazon.com: CompTIA Security+: Get Certified Get Ahead: SY0-201 Study Guide (9781439236369): Darril Gibson: Books

I quadruple this. That is the only book you need.

Ok I fifth this lol, I am half through Darril's book and it is easy to understand and hard to put down.

I'm almost halfway through Darril's book as well, and attest to how much of an easy read it is, and how well the topics are explained.

Not quite ready to dive into this class just yet. Im taking both my A+ exams next week, and the next month or so will be focused on Net+ but once I knock it out, im thinking hitting this. Either way, I ordered this book today, hopefully I find it as useful as the rest of you!

my kindle pc says im 25% done with that book ... very easy read and the info seams to be spot on

Finished my Security+ course last week and ordered Darril's book. Looking forward to reviewing it and getting this exam behind me. Thanks for the tips!
